Extend supported browsers list
ModeratorHello shaneturner​! 👋
Thank you for the feedback! We hope to build a secure way to use unsupported browsers with the 1Password for Windows desktop app and I've let the team know that you're eager to see this feature be introduced.
Genuine question. How hard would be be to add Zen and LibreWolf? You already cater to chronium based niche browsers such as Brave and Arc. As getting around the Windows issue seems to be a no-go ( waiting 2+ years ). Why is it so difficult? Is it more complex than I expect to add a browser?
Each currently supported browser was thoroughly vetted and reviewed by our security team. This process requires a lot of manual work and, as a result, ended up with only a handful of supported browsers leaving every other browser that we couldn't find the time and resources to review out in the cold. We're hoping to bring the ability to use whatever browser you wish, without us having to vet it first, to the 1Password for Windows app in the future.

When you say

Is it windows only ? Because I want to use LibreWolf on macos (which is not signed)
The issue is becoming more important as Firefox new Term of service become active and lots of users are not accepting them.

Thanks for reaching out! On macOS, the 1Password app verifies the browser’s code signature for authentication when it establishes the connection between the app and the browser extension. This authentication is designed to make it difficult for other applications and malware to intercept the account information and encryption keys that are passed through the connection. Without this authentication process, 1Password is unable to verify the app that is trying to communicate with it.
With Librewolf not being signed, the two available options are:
- Use 1Password in the browser without app integration.
- Use another browser that is signed by the developer.
That being said, I've passed your comments along internally and the team will continue to look out for ways to give users more control without compromising security.-Dave

So for MacOS it's always the same standard answer that you use in the other threads about 1 Password and LibreWolf
Solution 1) It's not the same, TouchID won't work, it hurts usability
Solution 2) Chrome, and Safari not an option. Firefox not anymore. For diverse reason.Can't we get an option, hidden under the "Advanced" Tab, with a warning in bright red letter saying "Don't check this without understanding the risk, it undermind security of all youre vaults content", an option that say "Allow integration of unsigned browser" ?

I'm sorry that I don't have any other news to share. I've shared your feedback with the team.
